Practical Domain-Driven Design: Beyond the Code

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is about more than writing code. It is about understanding the business and building software that reflects how it works.

In an era where AI can generate code faster than ever, understanding the domain and making sound design decisions becomes even more important.

In this hands-on workshop, you will explore the core principles and patterns of DDD through practical examples and exercises. Learn how to model complex business domains, define clear boundaries, and design software that aligns with business needs.
